I had read that the T-5 tubes are very efficient. Something close to 2x what a T-12 produces. So, I picked one up for the shop, to replace the single T-12 I use. I don't see 2x the output, but it has a warm bulb. I think it's a 3000k warm bath bulb, that awful brownish light. Anyway, has anyone used the T-5 bulbs? Are they really brighter?
With out changing to a cool white bulb I really don't see a marketable difference in light output.
Cute little fixture tho. You can find more info on T-5's here...
Cheers
